Lana Grossa knitting yarn – Cool Wool Mélange Cherry red melange 1501

Cool Wool Mélange Cherry red melange 1501 is a beautifully soft, fine yarn for comfortable everyday knitting. Made from 100% merino wool, including extrafine merino, it feels gentle in the hands and pleasant against the skin. The rich cherry red mélange shade has subtle colour variation, giving your finished work extra depth without making your project difficult to knit. This Lana Grossa knitting yarn is a lovely choice for beginners who want a dependable yarn, as well as experienced makers who appreciate neat, detailed stitches.

With 160 metres on each 50 gram ball, Cool Wool Mélange Cherry red melange 1501 knitting yarn offers excellent yardage for lightweight garments and accessories. It is designed for needles in size 3 to 3.5 mm, helping you create a smooth, even fabric that is neither too bulky nor too heavy.

Features and benefits

The fine merino fibres help your stitches stand out clearly, so simple stocking stitch, ribbing, cables and textured patterns can all look tidy and defined. The finished fabric has a soft feel and a flexible drape, making it especially suitable for clothing that you will want to wear often. As a trusted Lana Grossa product, this yarn combines quality materials with practical value for money: a small ball gives you a generous 160 metres to work with.

For a reliable fit, the recommended tension is 24 stitches and 34 rows over 10 x 10 cm. A women’s size 38–40 sweater requires approximately eight balls, depending on the pattern, length and details you choose.

Project ideas for this merino yarn

• A lightweight sweater with crisp ribbed cuffs and neckline

• A comfortable baby cardigan or small baby accessory

Helpful knitting tips and care

Before starting a larger project, knit a small tension square using the needles you plan to use. This simple step helps you check whether your stitches match the stated gauge and can prevent sizing surprises later. The mélange colour is easy to pair with neutrals such as cream, grey, navy or charcoal; it can also be combined with other fine yarns when a pattern calls for contrasting stripes or details. For care, always check the label on your ball and follow its instructions. Gentle handling, suitable wool care products and careful drying will help merino items stay attractive for longer.
